	"Dode Bercot, you awkward hound lightweight! You come all the way over from Monroe, Wash. where one of the state's nifty little jail houses rests upon soil and you slap and thump Art Serano all over the ring. You hit brother Serano like the judges hit the boys who go wrong and are sent over to the 'big house' in your home town to count the days behind barred windows. You come trotting out with right arm extended and right foot forward. Brother Serano wasn't looking for that. You puzzled him, you fuzzed him and you buzzed him. While Serano was trying to figure you out he was being pummeled and made all in. Why in the last round you hit him with so many punches that he went down on one knee and heard the nine count. You showed a style that the fans liked because it was out of the ordinary, and you showed an eye as keen as a razorblade and a sense of smelling punches that is uncanny. You have five knockouts in eight starts. The local fans would like to see you try to add another one to your list at the next show."

			November 17, 1922: "Conceiving the idea that he would like to give his feet and hands an equal chance with courage, Dode, 19 years old, sought the opportunity of entering the ring. His chance came five months ago at Monroe when he was an interested spectator at a smoker headlined by Ned Dunlap and Eddie Keller in which [Seattle promoter Lonnie] Austin assisted in arranging. A Seattle newspaper says this about Bercott [sic]: 'At the conclusion of a rough, tough semifinal between Cline Harrison and Thompson, two 158 pound loggers, Bercott hesitatingly approached Austin and remarked that he would like to fight the winner. "When Dode told me that he weighed 145 pounds fully dressed, I suggested that he was offering too much of a handicap, " said Lonnie. "But he was so insistent that I finally matched him with Thompson, the winner, whom he knocked out in the third round... Since Bercott started in June of this year, he has had eight fights, winning four by knockouts, two decisions, and two draws. His last battle was in Tacoma last week, when he won the decision from Art Sorento in a grueling match. The kid doesn't know a great deal yet, but he is learning fast, and I believe with his fighting instinct and puzzling style, I have a real champion. Whether or not he is, it's a cinch he will make a hit with any fight audience."
